Adams, Peter and Maci Overmohle were named to the all-tournament team.

It was the 13th state team championship for Kuemper, and the first volleyball crown. Kuemper has now won six state girls' titles. The school has finished first in girls' basketball once and has won four titles in girls' golf.

Tipton, which has reached the state tournament only twice, marked a school-best finish. The Tigers ended with a 39-4 record.

Sommer Daniel slammed 18 kills and was named captain of the all-tournament team. Amanda Smith joined her on the all-tournament team.

Hundreds of Kuemper fans poured into the arena. They hung around long after the match ended, snapping photos with players and sharing hugs.

"It was like the whole town was here," Adams said.

The Knights called themselves the Dream Team. They dreamed of winning a title and made that a reality.
